Cyber Security Skills for the Real World

Hacking
is a method of problem solving that combines resourcefulness, logic,
creativity, and study. Hacker Highschool helps teens learn hacking as a method
to figure out how things work (such as with the Scientific Method) and to
further learn by doing. Hacking is usefully applied in nearly all fields as it
builds upon what is known to create new things, foods, designs, etc. When
applied to computers and networks, it also teaches safety and security in a
world quickly drowning in information where to be safer teens today need to
know the facts from the fraud, the real from the fake, and the bad from the
good.

Hacker
Highschool is practical because security awareness has to be the continuing
practice of a skill and not just the continuous reminder of a threat. That's
why we need teens to actively take on real hacking attacks. Like a fire drill
or even driver education, students need real practice if they want to learn how
not to end up a victim.

Hacker
Highschool provides a set of hands-on, e-book lessons designed specifically for
teens to learn cyber security and critical Internet skills. These are lessons that challenge teens to be
as resourceful and creative as hackers with topics like safe Internet use, web
privacy, online research techniques, network security, and even dealing with
cyber-bullies. The full program contains teaching materials in multiple
languages, physical books with additional lessons, and back-end support for
high school teachers and home schooling parents.

Assistance Available

Teachers
and home-schooling parents looking for help in running HHS can take an HHS
Teacher Course which teaches the concepts of the lessons and how to best assist
the students learning the lessons.

Kick off
Hacker Highschool with a live edutainment seminar at your school or community
center. This is ISECOM's professional hackers and security researchers talking
to students about hacking and being a hacker.
